Review: great for sharpening serrated knives, fish hooks, and field-honing knives - The Sharpal 178N is a great tool for sharpening serrated knives and other tools. It comes in a sturdy travel bag, although the aluminum body handle provides excellent storage for both the cylinder sharpening surface and the tapered surface. Very clever design. To use for sharpening, simply unscrew the sharpener from the handle to access the cylinder sharpener. To hone a serrated knife or fish hook, Unscrew the cylinder sharpener to reveal the tapered diamond sharpener. The tapered sharpener then screws into the other side of the cylinder sharpener, which can screwed into the handle. The tapered sharpener can also sharpen gut hooks on skinning knives. I found the tapered sharpener to be excellent at sharpening serrated knives, better even than the DMT brand tapered sharpener. The 3.5 inch length is perfect, and the maximum diameter, about 3/8 inch, is larger than the DMT tapered sharpener. My serrated bread knife has serrations that get completely honed by this Sharpal tool. The 600 grit is a medium-fine grit that works well for getting a nice edge in a short time. Sharpening serrated knives is rather boring. You have to hone each serration individually. I find the following procedure works well. Place the knife on a sturdy flat surface such as a kitchen counter. Put the knife edge horizontal to the surface, then rotate the knife so that the angle of the serration edge is parallel to the counter - typically about 15°. Now hold the Sharpal tapered hone pointed parallel to the counter and place the tip of the sharpener at the first serration (I start at the serration closest to the handle). The sharpener is perpendicular to the knife. Push the Sharpal tool across the first serration, starting with the pointed tip and ending towards the handle, keeping the Sharpal tool parallel to the table as it moves across the knife. Only move the sharpener until the diameter of the taper matches the diameter of the individual serration. Repeat several times, up to 10 times for a dull serrated knife. Then move to the next serration and repeat. Once all serrations are sharp, feel the back side of the knife for burrs created during the process. Each serration is likely to have a slight burr due to the sharpening activity. Remove the burr by putting the cylinder hone into the Sharpal handle, then gently pulling the knife's flat side over the cylinder, held flat against the cylinder. I recommend doing all the sharpening and burr removal on a flat sturdy surface. This way, angles are kept true. Some serrated knives have "micro serrations" such as some "As Seen On TV" brands. These knives are more like tiny saw blades, rather than typical serrated blades, and the serrations are not individually sharpened. However, if this type of knife seems dull, you might find that the tips on the serrations are simply folded over. If this is the case, try straightening the tips back. A flat sharpening stone such as the Sharpal 156N or 162N can be used for this purpose. The tapered sharpener has a small groove in it that is perfect for sharpening fish hooks. Run the hook along the groove until it is sharp. The cylinder sharpener is good for field sharpening a knife. Of course, water stones and flat diamond stones should be used to hone a knife edge before going into the field, but the 178N tool is perfect for touching up a slightly dull edge when your regular sharpening stones are not available. Field dressing a deer or other animal requires a sharp knife, and this sharpener is perfect for keeping a knife sharp during the skinning process. If your knife has a gut hook, then no other tool is better than the 178N's tapered tool for sharpening that tight curve in the hook.
Review: Sharps all really works. - The diamond rod is superb. This monster will put a fast fix on a damaged blade. The 600 grit round sharpener is also very fast. This leaves a good edge for easy cutting. I like the size and the handy sack it comes with. Just drop in your back pack and you will never know it is there. It's easy to pocket Cary for the minimalist. This is a robust piece of gear that'll last a long time. This will also sharpen broad heads, fish hooks, and axes. The only problem is you have to watch the diamond rod because it is so aggressive. In my opinion and experience this is well worth the money. I will be giving sharps all for gifts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome product
*by Á***L on December 13, 2024*

Didnt think i could fix these two knives from work, got missing teeth, ground down teeth, and cracks between the teeth. Took my time and this is the outcome before and after. Id say the results speak for themselves, will buy again if i misplace the tool hands down.
